I was the instigator of this thread :) My question was: [In which version does] Find in design locate method references in object properties?
ex: Listbox: Font foreground color: my_font_color_selection_method In v13 Find in design will not locate references to methods which are entered into a property field. At some point (apparently) this ability was added. My current task: is to integrate a utility component into an existing system, replacing method calls in code with component calls, and removing the no longer referenced methods. In some instances, the method(s) being replaced by component calls may/are called from object properties (not object methods). I found a workaround which is the compiler complains if a method referenced in an object property does not exist; so if I just go about removing methods as I need, if there is a reference in an object property when I compile it will become obvious.
